How I Work
inner worlds therapy
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: behaviour is communication.
Children don’t always have the words to explain what’s going on inside, so they show us instead, through play, behaviour, and emotion.
In sessions, I use play as a way for children to safely explore their inner world. This might look like:
- Story Telling
- Creative Play
- Symbolic Expression
- Or simply having space to be themselves
Starting therapy
You don’t need the right words or a clear plan before starting. We begin with relationship, safety, and curiosity.
For children
Sessions are based around play. This might include drawing, storytelling, imaginative play, or simply being.
There is no pressure to talk or perform. I follow the child’s pace.
Over time, therapy can support children to:
Feel more emotionally settled
Understand their feelings
Express themselves more safely
Feel more secure in relationships

For parents
Parent work is a space to slow things down and make sense of what is happening at home.
We might explore:
What behaviour might be communicating
Emotional patterns in the family
Your responses and what shapes them
Ways to strengthen connection
There is no expectation of perfection, only understanding.

Working together
I may work with children, parents, or both depending on need. I also liaise with schools where appropriate.
The aim is always the same: understanding what is going on underneath, so things can shift from the inside out.
If you’re unsure
It’s completely okay to feel unsure. You don’t need to have it all figured out — just a starting point.
